Monstrous Birthday Greetings

What I love most about Halloween are the little kids that come around trick or treating. I loved it when my kids were little, and even though we're empty nesters now (at least for the time being) I still pass out candy. Our neighborhood has a carnival right down the street, and afterwards all the kids come by looking for candy. Most years we have around 300 kids. I can't wait!

And this little stamp set from CTMH reminds me so much of that night. It's a really fun set that also includes candy, but I didn't feel I had enough room on the card for that, so the little monsters will have to stand alone.

This card is going into the following challenges: NBUS, as this is the first time I'm using this set, and Shopping Our Stash, whose theme is Franken-Card.

My complete supply list is:

• CTMH Monstrous Halloween Stamps & Dies
• Stampin' Up! Parakeet Party Ink
• SU! Gorgeous Grape Ink & Card Stock
• SU! Poppy Parade Ink
• Memento Teal Zeal Ink
• Memento Tangerine Tango Ink
• Yellow Star Background Paper
• Doodlebug Designs Striped Paper
• Copics R32 & Y15

These cards (I actually made two the same) are going to two people who have Halloween birthdays. It's so fun to combine those things, especially when the stamps say just the right thing like here.

Thanks so much to everyone over at those challenge blogs who work so hard putting together these challenges for us, and thanks to you for stopping by today! Have a safe and fun Halloween!
